Overview
- Gifford has put Cedar Cliff, her nearly 3-acre gated peninsula property in Greenwich, on the market with a $100 million asking price through Leslie McElwreath of Sotheby’s International Realty.
- The estate combines a circa-1930s Mediterranean main house and later additions to total roughly 13,000–15,000 square feet with eight bedrooms, extensive terraces, a pool and spa, tennis court, private beach, deep-water dock and more than 1,250 feet of shoreline.
- Kathie Lee and her late husband Frank Gifford bought the property in 1994 for $7.8 million and over the years added a three-story east wing with a primary suite, 20-seat theater, office and wine cellar plus a professional recording studio.
- Gifford has said she moved to Nashville in 2019 and that the house felt quiet after her husband’s 2015 death, and she framed the sale as a personal decision to start a new chapter.
- A sale near the $100 million ask would place Cedar Cliff among Connecticut’s priciest residential transactions, highlighting demand for rare waterfront infrastructure close to Manhattan while also reminding sellers and buyers of the high upkeep, tax and transaction costs tied to trophy properties.
